creative way DIY tuna sandwich by rondy One loaf of bread (MUST BE FRESH - so that i would stick when u 'fold' it otherwise it'll 'open up' when toasting inside the oven) One can of tuna mayo Cut the bread as shown Next,fold it side to side as shown and toast it over oven,it would be very crispy! Note: Best to chilled the tuna and mixed your own tuna;the filling could be tuna+onion+pepper+mayo and tuna+thousand island sauce+tomatos cube. On top of the mayo, garnish with parsley For tomatos, can garnish with small red pepper. gosh, finally found something easier for me to do this weekends....stay tune for pic if I really managed to do it

Jam/Choco Fillings Cupcakes by Angel81: Ingredients 225g unsalted butter, soften 225g caster sugar 225g self raising flour 1tsp baking powder 4 eggs 1tsp vanilla essence *225g sugar might be too sweet so Angel81 usually put 1/2 the amount. Angel81 used plain floor plus an extra 1/2tsp of baking powder to substitute as she didnt have self raising flour* Method Preheat the oven to 175deg. Place 18 baking baking cases in muffin tins. *Angel81 didn't use the baking cases as she wanted the cupcakes to have a crisp/brown outer layer* Place all ingredients in a medium bowl and beat with an electric whisk until smooth and pale, about 2-3mins. *She whisked by hand* Spoon half of the mixture into the cases. Make a little dent in each cupcake and put in abt 1-2 tsp of jam or some choc chunks. Spoon the rest of the mixture into the cases. Bake for 20mins. Remove the tins from the oven and cool for 5mins. Then remove the cupcakes and cool on a rack. Store in an airtight container for up to 3 days. Note: The original recipe is from 500 cupcakes & muffins by fergal connolly. Angel81 added the jam/choc variation to it to make it more interesting. smile.gif

Cute cookies by BunBun again: Butter Cookie recipe Ingredients: (makes about 36 pieces) 100g butter, softened at room temperature 80g caster sugar 1 egg yolk 180g cake flour 20g corn flour Method: 1. Sift cake flour and corn flour together and set aside. Line baking tray with parchment paper, set aside. 2. With an electric mixer, add in sugar to the butter in 2 ~3 additions and cream till the mixture turns pale and fluffy. 3. Add in egg yolk and mix well. 4. Add sifted flour mixture in 2 ~ 3 additions, stir with a spatula to form a soft dough. 5. Place dough in a plastic bag and flatten with rolling pin. 6. Refrigerate the dough for about half an hour. 7. Remove dough from fridge. Roll out dough on slightly floured work surface and cut out with slightly floured cookie cutters. If the dough appears to be a little to hard and breaks into pieces while rolling, leave it at room temperature for a few minutes. The dough will soften up and can be rolled easily. 8. Bake at pre-heated oven at 175 degC for 15 ~ 20mins. 9. Let cool and store in air-tight container.

*to those concerned, if u can, please pm me those recipe and pic so that i can upload into this t-blog. TIA For those who are interested to have your creation featured here for all who enjoy baking, please PM me. TIA First up: 2 yummp cakes by the baking Queen, BunBun: For info: BunBun got the recipe was from a site when she was looking up the net for baking recipes Dark Chocolate Devils Food Cake With Kahlua. Dark chocolate cake frosted with white chocolate butter cream The recipe for the both cakes are the same, just have different frosting. A gentle note from BunBun: Devil's Food Cake is a rich chocolately moist cake though & must be kept in a air-tight container to ensure it can last up to 4-5 days if not a week. Devil's Food Cake Recipe: 280g soft brown sugar 40g unsweetened cocoa powder 250ml milk 90g dark chocolate, chopped 125g unsalted butter, softened at room temperature. 1 teaspoon of natural vanilla extract 2 eggs separated 185g of plain(all-purpose) flour (sift the flour first) 1 teaspoon bicarbonate of soda(baking soda) Filling: 250ml whipping cream 1 tablespoon icing(confectioners') sugar 1 teaspoon natural vanilla extract. Part 1 Preheat the oven to 160 degrees. Lightly grease two deep 2cm (8 inch) round cake tins and line the bases with baking powder. Combine a third of the brown sugar with the cocoa and milk in a small saucepan. Stir over low heat until the sugar and cocoa have dissolved. Remove from the heat and stir in the chocolate, stirring until it is melted. Allow it to cool after that. Part 2 Cream the remaining brown sugar with the butter in a small bowl using electric beaters until light and fluffy. Beat in the vanilla and egg yolks and the cooled chocolate mixture. Transfer to a large bowl, and stir in the sifted flour and bicarbonate of soda. Part 3 Beat the egg whites in a small bowl until soft peaks form. Fold into the chocolate mixture, Divide the mixture evenly between the tins. Bake for 35 min or until a skewer inserted in the centre of the cakes come out clean. Leave in the tins for 5 minutes before turning out onto a wire rack to cool. Filling To make the filling, whip the cream, icing sugar and vanilla in a small bowl using electric beaters until stiff peaks form. Spread over one of the cold cakes, top with the second cake and spread the top and sides with icing. Chocolate icing 50g dark chocolate, chopped 30g unsalted butter 1 tablespoon icing(confectioners') sugar 1. For the icing, put the chocolate and butter in a double-boiler at low heat(do not boil). Stir until the mixture is melted. Gradually add the sifted icing sugar and stir until smooth. *BunBun did not use the chocolate icing as she used another chocolate recipe. The chocolate icing recipe is part of the devil's food cake recipe. Other decoration is entirely up to one's disrection White chocolate frosting (2nd pict) 225g butter, softened 250g confectioners' sugar(icing sugar) 168g white chocolate or white baking bar, melted and cooled 3-5 tablespoons whipping cream or half and half. In a large bow, beat the butter and confectioners sugar at low speed until fluffy. Add in melted and cooled white chocolate and whipping cream. To do this right, start with 3 tablespoons and add in more to achieve desired consistency as you go along. Beat on high speed for 3-4minutes, scraping the bowl with a spatula. Because this is a creamy and sweet frosting, it will not be stiff as a conventional frosting and not easy to pipe decoration with it properly. However, you can opt to reduce the sugar slightly as if you do not like it to be too sweet. BunBun did not use filling for the sides of the cake unless its to layer the cakes as the chocolate cake is already sweet enough with the chocolate ganache by asian standards.

their ah beng ah lian attitudes really remind me of the recent 'wrongful confinement' of the SPH intern. Better make a report just to cover yourself on their threats. Their sickening attitudes really leave no room for negotiation. if u really choose to complete the sales, get a big lock and a good bicycle chain and lock up the unit once u complete the 2nd appt. Dont care whether they already moved out or not. Lock them up once u're the rightful owner and call in the police if they demand u to open for them to retrieve their belongings.

the curtain rod is the same type of pole used for toilet shower curtains right? Can be adjusted and leveled right? really under your frustration but when it comes to our parents...we just have to respect their choices and dont boil blood over it. Since she's the one using the common loo then its important for her to get the choice of her shower curtains.

sure exclusive....just like those staying in condo but yours better as only 2 units on your level. as for stealing of shoes, maybe u 'test water' first or check with your neighbour if there's any shoe thief around the estate. U may also consider putting those black brackets from Daiso if u eventually decided to remove those plastic as it looks abit weird against your nice and neat wrought iron gate.

from the left of this pic, looks like your block having lift upgrading? we didnt put any plastic sheets for all our wrought iron gate. Usually the town council people quite careful when jet spraying water near to units so only abit of water would splash into our area. As for cats, there was once when a cat came right into our living room but quickly went out when it saw me. That was at our old place and we told ourselves to get those wrought iron gates with thinner stripes for the bottom half of the gate but forgotten all about when we did our gate for new place.

last week Sunday Times got an advert on Sona air cooler. Stated as better than fan and also consume lesser electricity than air con. Anyone bought air cooler?
